I admit, I was a little worried this game wouldn't be great. Perhaps my fears stemmed from Bioshock Infinite being such a crushing disappointment.

At a 40gb install I was thinking this damn well BETTER be awesome.

Well... it is! Aside from the cute references to Wolfenstein 3D and old-school silliness of dual-wielding shotguns the size of chainsaws there's a genuinely fun and rewarding stealth and/or action game with a neat skill tree that lets you cater to your playstyle. There's also a very grim feel to it that doesn't feel too forced most of the time. You know it's gonna be bad when you're staging a last-chance assault on a Nazi stronghold... in 1946.

So what're you guys playing?

Bit surprised, they've been hyping it for months. Came out yesterday.

And I know Warren Spector took a big whiny elitist shit on it when it was first announced like last year or so.

He made Epic Mickey 1 and 2 (literally, that's it) and spent the rest of the time sitting on the pedestal Thief and Deus Ex fans put him on jerking off to his own superiority.

Transistor. I don't really get what's going on, but it sure looks beautiful. (Not to mention sounds--"I Won't Save You" is one hell of a boss theme.) I've heard the combat gets a bit repetitive later, but for now I'm having a lot of fun trying out different skill combinations that lead to very different playstyles.

I've been replaying (modded) Oblivion, and am really liking it, and I think I might like it more than (modded) Skyrim. Yeah, everything is basically better in skyrim, especially mechanics-wise, and the voice acting isn't like 15 people minus Captain Picard, but I think it's primarily the environment and certain quests that make me really like it. I think it may also be the better sense of exploration and adventure I get from Oblivion than Skyrim, since Skyrim it kinda feels like most things have already been discovered and stuff; it's kinda weird, I think this the opposite is why I prefer Fallout New Vegas to Fallout 3.

That's so weird that you felt New Vegas has better exploration, because I felt constrained and the Mojave felt like it was largely occupied territory, whereas Fallout 3 was much more open. Nothing quite like conquering the entirety of DC (discounting the respawning mutants.)

My issue with Oblivion is that I had a hard time giving a shit about the plot, the bits where you go into Oblivion itself are dull as dishwater, and the mechanics are horrible. And it all hinged so much on events from the first 3 games. I liked Skyrim because it was rather removed from the rest, in terms of geography and time.

Well to clear up the Fallout stuff, I meant that I liked that occupiedness and feeling of being lived in New Vegas more than the complete openness of 3 had going on, which just felt empty. And I've never really cared all that much about the main storylines of Elder Scrolls games, though when I got Oblivion I never played the other 3 games before it or read any of the in game books either and still followed the main storyline just fine. Don't get me wrong, I love Skyrim and have sunk hundreds of hours into it, I think something in Oblivion hits something I really like.

Oddly enough, I'm not too bothered by the Mojave feeling lived-in. It's no different than any other major settlement in Fallout 1 or 2. But I hated the way the game funneled you.

Can't really argue about feeling, though, that's as personal as it gets. Well, someone has to like Oblivion, might as well be you. :)

(If not for the idiotic racial and gender differences, I'd like OB more myself)

I feel I am, for the most part, the only person who likes Oblivion, since when people talk about the Elder Scrolls you either liked Morrowind or you liked Skyrim, and thought Oblivion was either meh or terrible, because Morrowind (or Skyrim, but I haven't really heard that one yet).

I would not be opposed if someone made all of Fallout 2 on the New Vegas engine, or better yet, whatever engine they use for Fallout 4; I'd really like to see 2 (or 1) again, but plays like 3 or NV.

I'm gonna say Skyrim trumps the rest, because Morrowind is fucking awful. So there, I'm the first person you've ever heard say that.

The fundamental problem with Fallout 1 and 2 is that it's... well, it probably wouldn't be the same kind of game as Fallout 3/NV. Fallout 1/2 is basically Ultima with guns, whereas 3/NV are Elder Scrolls with guns.

They could probably do something like what Wasteland 2 is doing, though.

Do you know if Wolfenstein: The New Order will be available on Mac, or if there is say way to play it on Mac...? Not much of a gamer but it looks damned awesome

If you have Windows installed on your Mac it should be okay if you have the right hardware for it.

There is no native Mac version.
